Ms Caddick, 49, had not been seen since she left her Dover Heights home without her mobile phone, wallet or keys to go for a run just before sunrise on November 12.
Police had previously said they believed Ms Caddick — who was the subject of an investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) — was still alive.
However, campers found her “badly decomposed foot” inside a shoe at Bournda Beach, near Tathra, on Sunday.
DNA from the foot was matched to samples taken from Ms Caddick’s toothbrush and family.
